One day mason from the village, who
was making some repairs at Ralph Waldo
Emersons house was engaged IN putting
ON some plasterlng' when MI Emerson
happened to come along: lie stood for
few minutes talking with the workman,
and watching HIM while he dettly handled
the little square board which plasterers use
to hold their material; Then he SAID =

Great Telescopes.

1t is frankly admitted, says Prof Young
in the Forum for September, that for ordi-
nary work enormous instruments are not
advantageous those of moderate dimen-
sions will do far more easily and rapidly
the work of which they are capable. 1t
would be poor economy to shoot squirrels
with ffteen-inch cannon. Observers with
smaller instruments, if they have sharp
eyes and use them faithfully, can always
find enough to do and can do it well. But
the great telescope has two advantages
which are decisive. In the first place, it
collects more light, and so makes it posi-
BILE to use higher magnifying powers, and
thus virtually to draw nearer to the object
studied than we can with a smaller one
and, in the next place, in consequence of
what is known as 'diliraction, the image
of luminous point made by large lens is
smaller and sharp than that made by a
small one. The smaller the telescope the
larger are the so-ealled spurious disks" OF

OF course the first thing the amateur as
Economical observer will wish to see will be
the mountains of the moon, for everybody
has heard of them, and the most sluggish
imagination is stirred by the thought that
one can look off into the sky and behold
"the eternal hills" of another planet as sol
id and substantial as our own. But the
chances are that, if left to their own guild
ance, 80 perhaps out of 100 would choose
exactly the wrong time to see these noun
tains. At any rate that is my experience
with people who have come TO look at the
moon through my telescope. Unless warned
before hand, they invariably wait until full
moon, when the flood of sunshine poured
perpendicularly upon the face of our satel-
lite conceals its rugged features as effectu-
ally as if veil had been drawn over them.
Begin your observations with the appear
ance of the narrowest crescent of the new
moon, and follow it as it gradually fills, and
then you will see how beautifully the ad-
vancing line of lunar sunrise reveals the
mountains, over whose slopes and peaks it
is climbing, by its ragged and sinuous out
line. The observer must keep in mind the
fact that he is looking straight down upon
the tops of the lunar mountains. 1t is like
a view from a balloon, only at a vastly
greater height than any balloon has ever
attained Even with powerful telescope
the observer sees the moon at an apparent
distance of several hundred miles, while
with field glass, magnifying six diameters,
the moon appears as if 10000 miles off,
The apparent distance with Galileo's tele-
scope was 5000 miles. Recollect how,
when seen from great height, the rugosi-

Jesse Pomeroy, the child torturer and
murderer, who is serving life sentence in
the Charestown, Mass, state prison, made
a second attempt to secure his freedom "A
few nights ago. 1t was by the merest ac-
cident that Pumeroy's plans were discover
ed, Since his incarceration, dozen years
ago, he has been in solitary confinement
save for an occasional outing with the war
den, made necessary on account of his
health. During the round last Friday night,
the guard, leaning against the window care
lessly, felt two of the iron gratings give
way beneath the pressure of his hand, and
a moment later they fell Gathering 10 the
ground. A second glance showed that bars
at either side had been worked upon, and
that few minutes labor would render
them us useless as the broken ones. Hasti-
" summonng the officials another inspec-
tion was made, the broken and damaged
bars replaced with perfect ones, and a tour
of the cells was begun, At Pomeroy's cell
it was found that two massive iron gratings
ON the side nearest the window had been
completely cut through, but so fastened by
means of gelatine that even the heavy
changing of the door refused to shake them.
Pomeroy was Immediately removed 10 safer
quarters aud searched, but nothing was
found ON his person save two slender saws.
He refused TO disclose who furnished them,
where the gelatine had been obtained, or
how long the work had been going on. He
was probably ready TO escape Friday night.
Pomeroy, whose murderous career is mat
ter of history, says his only ambition is TO
escape and murder his keepers. Several
years ago he made am attempt 10 escape by
loosening big stone in the outer wall of
his cell. Who gave him the saws on this
latter occasion is a mystery, but they prob

One would not suppose that few pin
holes in the upper right-hand corner of
piece of paper would be matter TO be
troubled over yet in Il brokers' Office the
other day rich man was storming around,
because when certificate of city railway
stock left for margins was returned to him
he discovered two of the fatal ineradica-
ble things in the upper right hand corner.
Didn't | tell you, he said excitedly, IF
you used that certificate at your bank, not
to have any pin-holes made in it," Then
he lifted the precious paper up between his
eyes and the light, and as the rays shot
through the minute but tel-tale punctures
he raved and tore round again. Pin holes
in the upper right-hand corner of a news
paper wouldn't mean anything. In that

that it has been 'spoutedn at the bank
Several pin-ho mean that it has been hy-
pothecated several times for cash If this

Searching for buried Treasure.

A search for buried treasure has been
carried on by night on farm near Martins
Ferry n. H.. for some time by two men.
Tradition has it that century ago or more
an old man and his wife settled there, that
the latter died, and the husband spent the
rest of his days without housekeeper OF
companion. To his neighbors he was wont
to exhibit great chests of silver plate. One
morning he was found dead in his bed, but
the chests and their rich treasure were mis-
sing. 1t was thought at the time that the
old man had buried it near there on farm
before his death, but no trace of it was ever
found One of these men said TO be search
ing for the treasure is ~ years old. The
work is carried ON with steel rods made foI
the purpose and has been done so secretly
that it is known to few. Already rumors are
rife that the search has been rewarded by
the finding of part of the treasure. 1t i,
thought a much greater quantity remains
TO reward the treasure hunters.

the stars so that in the case of a close doub-
lie star for instance, where our nine-inch
telescope shows only an oval disk, the
twenty -three-n shows two fine distinct
ly separated points. 1t is true that the at
mospheric disturbances, which always pre-
vail to "A greater or less extent, very seri-
ously affect the Seeing" with large instru-
ments. The power of the prince of the
air, ~ which is to an astronomer the very
type of the total depravity of inanimate
things, ON nine clear nights out Of ten de-
prives a great telescope of much of its just
superiority, so that ON an ordinary night a
good observer with an aperture Of twelve
or fifteen inches can make out all that can
be fairly seen with twenty-four or thirty
inches at the same time.
And yet the writer has continually veri-
fed in his experience the observation Of
Mr. Clark, who said "You can always see
with a large telescope everything shown by
smaller one-a little better if the seeing
is bad immensely better if it is good. ~
But when really good night comes, as
once in while it does then TO a great tel
escope heaven opens, new worlds appear,
new forms and features are discovered old
illusions are dissipated, and observations
and measurements before beyond the reach
Of human skill become possible, easy, and
accurate. In fact, the reasonableness Of
wanting still larger telescopes is identically
the same rs that Of wanting a telescope at
all. OF course, it is impossible to predict
what discoveries will be made with the
great Lick telescope when it is erected on
its tsmountain Of privilege likely none;
1t is not possible now to go out at night, as
some seem to think and pick up "discov-
cries as one would gather flowers in for
est. But We may be sure Of this, that it
will collect data, with micrometer, camera,
and spectroscope, which will remove many
old difficulties, will clear up doubts, will
actually advance our knowledge, and
what is still more important, will prepare
the way and hew the steps for still higher

Tvo Curiou. Creature. from Arricn.


A student of the Darwinian theory would
undoubtedly think that the missing link
has been found, should he see two objects
now at the store of Charles Reiche K Broth
er, animal dealers in Park row, New York.
Mr.. Reiche is a well-informed naturalist,
and he has given up trying to solve the
mystery as to what they are. The animals
in question are known as He and It, and
they arrived last week in this country in a
! large wooden crate. Mr. Reiche got them
in London from a hunter who has spent
many years in Southern Africa. lie is
known only as Hunter Wilhelm, and has
had as many adventures as Allan Quater-
main himself. About a year ago Wilhelm
came across a tribe of natives near the
ZambeH river in South Africa, and al
though never visited by "A white man be
fore they treated him kindly. From them
he learned that 100 miles further into the
interior there was a tribe of hairy savages
that frequently swooped down upon the
neighboring natives and carried off their
women, tore up their crops and stole ev
erything possible to be carried away.
While the hunter was in the village a
woman that had been captured few
months before returned with three children
that she had stolen from the tribe. The
hunter resolved to get them if possible, and
as he was friendly with the chief, bought
them for trinkets that he had with him and
started Immediately for England Mr.
Reiche saw him in London and purchased
the three "children" from him. There
were two males and one female, but the fe-
male, named She, died before starting for
this country. One would be at u loss what
to liken them to- They are apparently
twins and look TO be about year old
Neither is more than two feet tall, but des-
pite their youth they have teeth fully de
veloped Their heads are round and hard
and covered with thin growth of black
hair and are set firmly on their shoulders
which are precisely like human beings
They cannot boast Of any more nose than
an ordinary monkey, but their eyes are re
markably large, black and intelligent.
Their bodies are round and fat, like u tur-
tle-fed aldermans, and, while the prevail
ing color is white they are covered with
large blue-black spots Their arms are
slender and somewhat longer than the av
erage child's arms, and the hands and fin
gers are remarkably well developed, even
to the finger nails The strength Of their
arms is very great and this also applies to
their legs and feet Their backs sides and
limbs are entirely covered with long brown
hair, but their stomachs are bare They
are tended by colured nurse, for whom
they show great affection.

Nine cut of ten American storms, says a
signal service officer, originate in the noun
tainous regions of the northwest, where
the warm air of the valleys rises and comes
in contact with the cool air from the great
elevations of the Rocky mountains. These
storms take generally southwesterly di-
rectiOn until they get into the dry regions
of Kansas, and there, becoming famished,
as it were, for want of moisture, and as if
scentiug the water for which they long
from the direction of the great lake region
they make Il turn to the northeast and
proceed to the great lakes, where they alb
sorb abundance of moisture, and then trav-
el on east, deluging us with this water from
the lakes. All such general storms pass out
from this country to the Atlantic, through
the st Lawrence valley. Within recent
years these American storms have been
actually traced across the Atlantic to Eu-
rope, and some of them even as far as Asia
All storms originate in the same way,
whether on land or on sea; in summer or in
winter. The undercurant of air which rises
need not necessarily be warm to make it
rise; as for instance, where the tempera-
ture is below the freezing point; but the
under current must be of a higher temper
ature than that above and surrounding it.
to force it to rise. In other words, storm
is originated by a colnmingling of unequal
atmospheric temperatures.

\ new labor organization, lately started
in Chicago, is called the Progressive Or
der of American Workingmcn, and it ap-
pears worthy Of encouragement. The
principles 10y which it is governed are ma
terially different from those which control
most if not all, Of the numerous labor So
cietes now existing. None but actual
workers can become members, and opposi-
eiton 10 strikes is fundamental principle.
The order claims that every difference can
be adjusted by arbitration. In case of diff
fercnccs between employers and workmen,
the men concerned are to use their best en-
dcaVors tu effect an adjustment. After a
failure in the first effort, the matters in dis
pute are referred to the council Of the or
der, which gives the whole subject more
careful consideration to discover why an
agreement cannot be effected. and after
this examination makes its award as to
what is Just between the parties. Should
either workmen or employers bo dissatisfied
or refuse 10 accept the conclusions arrived
at, disinterested parties are called in to set
tie the differences. Pending all these ne
gotiations, the workmen continue their avo-
cations, and the employer is guaranteed
against "A strike and assured that he will
receive fair notice of the intention Of all
or any of his workmen determining to leave
his employ, so that he can provide for the
